She's a boo backed trilam with bloodwood core and osage belly. Pulls 51# @ 28" 66" tip to tip

Decided not to skin it Ryan. To narrow and would lose to much pattern. I dyed the back with alcohol dye and steel wooled it to darken up the boo a bit.

That is an excellent bow Kris. I love how you brought all those colors together through the riser and in the tip overlays.  Neeter than a skeeters.....well you know.

Looks very nice Kris, Is it straight limbed? Could you share demensions of what your lams are? I have some from KennyM that are ready to glue up and you hit the weight range I'm looking for.  Thanks Todd

Another nice one Kris. I'm not used to seeing so many successful bows from you! d;^)  Either your wife or your "Lil" buddy must be building them.

I think I figured out it is bad joo joo for me to post pics of them before they are shooting Pat. I've been on a pretty good run lately.

Just give me a holler Charles.

Citycop, it was my first trilam but not to difficult really. I glued it up on 2x4 form and used innertubes to clamp it. I glued in 1.5 inch of reflex and she settled with about 3/4" string follow.

I just used the boo a 1/16th full length slat of blood wood and a 1/2" full length osage 1/4 sawn slat.

Good looking bow Kris. You are going to have to take time off building to shoot some f these bows you are producing.
Give me the name of you drywaller. He did a great job around that deer, how did he get it to stay still while putting the mud on  :)
